Federal prosecutors filed a criminal complaint on June 3, charging Chinese student Haoxiang Gao with illegally voting in the 2024 presidential election.
Michigan officials had charged Gao for casting an illegal vote last year, after he approached a city clerk and tried to retract his ballot. They said Gao was studying at the University of Michigan and made a false affidavit that he had U.S. citizenship when registering for early voting in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
